Module 8 online discussions Exhibit 3: Personal and Professional Learning Communities

Professional Learning Communities  (PLCs) are formed when groups of teachers get together (online or off) to share ideas, teaching strategies, resources and inspiration. During this course you had many opportunities to share with your colleagues and with teachers from the other schools during communal professional development opportunities and we hope that you will take it to another level using your mobile devices! Consult your Module 8 Exhibit 3 folder for more information on how to start PLCs and get more information about it.

Instructions:
Use the comment section below to answer the following question.

    THe aths lit COP was started by me about 7 years ago and the teachers really share a lot there. You can get instant help all the time. We also have quite a few teachers that are real sharers and that share everything they do. Very handy!! we are like a little family that cares for one another. You never have to be alone again!!!

    Innovators.

    The Tuthong website is the only authentic website because it is hosted by the DEO, there correct, upto date information is found on this site.
    There are so many hits that come from the google website and information can be far fetched.
    Wikipedia lacks authenticity, anyone can post his or her view on it, therefore making it the wrong choice.
    The teachers network is own by individual teachers and hosted by one person

    The best choice is Thutong as it is a Processional Learning Portal and it is tmeously updated also gives educators opportunity to share information, challenges and ideas.

    II disagree. Thutng is very seldom up to date and the search facility only throws up old information. The DoE official website is far more up to date with the latest CAPS. A teachers professional community like the Maths lit one is really a far ore personal place to get immediate 1 to 1 help from other teachers in the same position as you. Help on demand. You guys really need to join teachers comms- you will never be alone

    Profile 3 A is just a seach engine and information obtained from it cannot b trusted
    Profile 3B anyone can post on it even if the person is not an expert in the field
    Profile 3C Only for Maths teachers.Not everyone can get helpful information from the site
    Profile D is a reliable site ,for it has the Departmental logo.One can download workbooks and previous question papers.

    PLNs and PLCs allow a "new" dimension to lifelong learning. As a teacher you often feel alone when trying to teach particular concepts in more exciting ways or just seek advice.... help is available through many avenues if you have an online presence.
